Right, and if you remove nfs from the kernel , it's not gonna be net
bootable...

Well, the server is there in case you want to use it, but you don't have
to export filesystems...

grep rpc /etc/inetd.conf , will show you all the enabled services that use
rpc (the second field is the service type)

if you comment them out they will be disabled...commenting out portmapper 
will disable all the rpc services, since any client wanting any rpc based
service (like nfs) first has to contact portmapper..(it gets a port number
and basic authentication)

remember to restart inetd afterwards...
